Marcel Sabitzer: A Potentially Shrewd Liverpool Signing

Liverpool have been consistently linked with RB Leipzig's French central defender Ibrahima Konate in recent weeks.

How Thiago controls the Liverpool midfield

The win over Burnley was exactly the sort of game Thiago was signed for. He was one of the main reasons Liverpool were able to stamp their authority on the match.

Love Nat Phillips, but don’t overrate him

One of the hardest things as a football supporter is finding a fair middle ground. We're all guilty of going overboard one way or the other.

Three big transfers that could shape Liverpool’s summer

Let's face it, Liverpool's season has been, at best, underwhelming and, at worst, an absolute disaster.

Why Liverpool shouldn’t sign Rodrigo De Paul

Liverpool’s leading scorer from midfield this season is Gini Wijnaldum and he’s found the back of the net just twice in the Premier League.  The lack of goals from those in the middle third is the primary reason so many fans want the Reds to add an attacking midfielder to their ranks this summer. Houssem...

Thiago and Fabinho Axis Show The Way Forward For Liverpool
